I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these lymph nodes in her supraclavicular area for two years now. They looked small at first, but an ultrasound showed two of them measuring 107 mm and 176 mm. She's also been diabetic for over two years, but her sugar is well-controlled with medication. There's no fever, sweating, or tirednessshe actually feels fine otherwise. What could this mean? What are the chances its something serious? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

my mother has stage 3A breast cancer and is getting treatment at SGPGIMS but the doctors aren't clear about how many chemo cycles she'll need they mentioned maybe 10 cycles but does that mean 5 before surgery and 5 after or something else also they said it could go beyond 10 if her body responds well is there no standard number of cycles for different cancer stages and which hospital would be best for breast cancer treatment
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and have four lumps one was removed (5.3 cm) but the others are smaller. Can they be treated with medication or will I need surgery for those too? I've attached my biopsy report for reference.
Small fibroadenomas are often monitored; surgery is only needed if they grow, cause symptoms, or raise diagnostic concerns.
